The more air I breathe that is too thin, the less my brain works...
Out of Air so Thin… Where do the words come from, I have been asked? Why, out of air so thin, I have to respond, with sass, For without thin air, my words would be unfair, Seeing me for what I am, you would, a devil may care… What makes me write what I write, they have requested? I write what I write, as I do every night, cause it is only quite right, The ideas, or maybe the “muse” can never be accurately nailed down, As most of these ideas come from a place I have not even as yet, found… I write to help, I write to enjoy life, I write so that maybe it will for you astound, And make you want to write for yourself, at least, For as much as it will help you to find yourself & become more well round, Not in shape, as I am so rotund, but emotionally in life, will you become shaped… I try, most of the time to make you all laugh, although there a few that do not, This one in particular, no hee-hee or ha-ha, no funny or humorous shot, Just a way to say to you all, this one is different; this one deserves more of a frown, As deep in thought I hope this makes you, nothing here to smile at, nothing to use for a clown… © ed – 3/16/04

Words are in thin air, all we have to do is grasp them, and from what you write, I would say you do do that. If I wore a hat, it would be lifted for you, sir. Glad I could stir the words . . . b

Ahhh, Ed, my friend... no need for explanations.. it is what it is.... but having said that, you've captured a bit of your
depths and shared a bit of your muse and for that, I sit here pondering... a very good thing. You've written a wonderful example
of what we poets hope to do: simply convey ourselves through word.. for the word holds much power and in this case, a
kind of grace. Your honesty and sharing are welcome to the eyes. Keep it up... katy xox.
